A hexagon has 6 sides, all equal to one another, which means it has symmetry. Simply fold the hexagon until it makes a triangle

What is the formula for the area of a regular hexagon?

A regular hexagon can be considered as being built up of six equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has an area of (b/2) * sqrt (3b/2) where b is the side of the equilateral triangles that make up the hexagon and also the radius of the hexagon's circumscribed circle, and sqrt means the square root ofSo the area of the regular hexagon with side length b is 3 * b * sqrt (3b/2)


How do you find the surface area of a regular hexagonal pyramid?

Hexagonal prisms cannot be regular. If you tried to make one it would end up being a hexagon since six equilateral triangles make a hexagon. Therefore, there is no surface area.


How do you make an irregular hexagon from six equilateral triangles?

You take four regular triangles and make the all on the same center point and make them share one or two of there side with the triangle next to it until you get something that looks like a pac-man with a big mouth.


What does not make an isosceles triangle an equilateral?

an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides while the equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides


How do you make a concave hexagon from 4 triangles?

Put four equilateral triangles so that each one of them has a vertex at a single point and the triangles abut one another. The shape will be 4/6 (= 2/3) of a regular hexagon.


Can an equilateral triangle be acute?

Yes. Acute angle is less than 90°. 60° which is less than 90°, can make an equilateral triangle .


Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?

no


What two pattern blocks do you use to make a hexagon?

A triangle and parallelogram


How do you make 3 equal sides to a triangle?

For equal sides make an Equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles have 3 internal angles of 60o. All 3 sides are equal length. Make one using those characteristics.


Can you make an right equilateral?

No. Equilateral triangles have 60o angles. There is no way to build a right-angle triangle with sides of equal length.


What combination of shapes that you could use to make a hexagon?

There are an infinite number of options. Even sticking with polygons with sides of the same measure, a hexagon can be made from 6 equilateral triangles, or 4 eq triangles and a 60 degree rhombus, or 2 eq triangles and 2 60-deg rhombi, or 3 60-deg rhombi. Each of the equilateral triangle could be made from smaller shapes. Eg four equilateral mini-triangles to make 1 triangle. Or 2 mini-triangles and 1 mini-rhombus or 2 60-deg mini-rhombi. And then each of those mini triangles could be made up of smaller micro-shapes. And so on ...


How do you make a 5 piece tangram hexagon?

All you have to use is the five triangles. The two large triangles make a square in the middle, the two small triangles make a large triangle on one side and the middle triangle on the other side.
